Leadership Development Coordinator

What is a Leadership Development Coordinator (LDC)?

An LDC is, simply put, a student advisor to their respective residence hall’s government. They will strive to help members of their hall’s government develop and progress as leaders by encouraging contribution, helping establish personal and group goals, and recognizing members who are worthy of recognition.
